When the block's been let go and you need to win it back, the Billy Goat BC2600HHC is the machine that does it. This self-propelled Outback makes short work of under-brush, berries, saplings, vines, tall grass and small trees, clearing brush up to 6' (183cm) tall and saplings up to 2" (5cm) thick at a rate of nearly an acre an hour. A 26" deck with higher blade tip speed means it cuts cleaner and faster than you'd expect from a machine built for this kind of punishment, and the four-way reinforced blade spindle is made to keep going in the harshest conditions.

Honda power drives it, paired with a smooth hydrostatic transmission, so there's no gear-shifting, just feather it forward and back straight from the handles. Automatic Controlled Traction senses when a rear wheel starts to slip and locks it for positive grip, so it holds its footing on wet or uneven ground and climbs slopes up to 20 degrees. The ±12° pivoting deck floats over rough terrain with a proprietary return-to-neutral design, hugging the contours for a cleaner cut and less scalping, while wider tractor-style tyres add pulling power and stability. Rubberised rear deck trim makes it easy to back off stumps and rocks, and padded-grip controls keep you comfortable through a long clearing job.
